Default Black Pearl Orchid
A relative of mine tells me she has bought the After Dark Black Pearl orchid which she believes is the truest black orchid. I have seen this a pic of this orchid and it is very black. I love it. I have a picture if you would like it and details where to get it. I am told they have a number of true back orchids. Might just have to get one myself.

Sunset Valley Orchids in California. Postage costs were a bit of a shock to Aust. But worth it. Maybe my birthday or Chrissy.

Sorry Dorothy, my mistake. Wrong pic. That is the close up of the Black Pearl. This is the Black Diamond. Stunning.

They are Catasetinae. I think the genus (multi hybrid) is Fredclarkeara or something like that... They are the closest to black orchids I know ( only in pictures so far!) and the most amazing Catasetinae at all (after Catasetum pileatum, which is and saty my NUMBER ONE )
